The rule changes, which are scheduled to begin July 1, would remove restrictions on the number of phone calls and text messages a coach could make to prospective recruits. Coaches would be permitted to contact a recruit an unlimited number of times beginning July 1 after that prospect's sophomore year of high school.

The changes were approved by the NCAA Board of Directors last month.

Jones said Wednesday at a Big Orange TipOff Club meeting that "these (recruits) are still 16- and 17-year-old young adults. They need to have a life."
